The Socially Distanced Podcast was created by two pop culture-obsessed dads during COVID who decided to take their Facebook messenger conversations and turn them into a podcast. In 2022 they brought their friend, a pop culture-obsessed mom to the show, and things got even better!
Join hosts Amanda Rivas and Bill Bodkin as they discuss everything in the world movies, music, sports, television and pop culture — everything keeping them sane in this time of socially distancing. This podcast is powered by ThePopBreak.com.
Socially Distanced goes back to a galaxy far, far away as they discuss the 10 Year Anniversary of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
“The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas hosts the episode with Bill Bodkin, and Batman by the Numbers’ Dan Cohen as the guests this week. They discuss how much they love The Force Awakens, especially Dan who originally gave this film a 9.5 on Pop Break.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released on December 18, 2015 and starred Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Domnhall Gleason, Oscar Isaac, and the voice talents of Andy Serkis. The film was directed by JJ Abrams, and was the first film in the new Star Wars trilogy launched under Disney’s ownership of the franchise.
They break down all the film’s (now wasted) potential and how it breaks their hearts. They discuss their favorite performances including Harrison Ford, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. They debate whether JJ Abrams should have helmed all the new trilogy, and more.
In the pre-game they chat about Supergirl, and the entire Warner Bros Discovery/Netflix/Paramount debacle.
